MAy be, i could only recall at the time, still for that matter, it's
usage by elves. So, what? I was wrong. Sorry. Oh, and thank's for
the SR1 snippet. I, unfortunately, jumped on the SR Bandwagon around
that advent of SR2. Still tracking down an SR1 book for my
collectoin...

Yeah, i knew these already.

Maybe so, but there *are* more...ever heard of a Keeb? as in Keebler?

Eh...I was just finishing some geometric algebra assignment. It was
aimed more at trying to prove, like a mathematical proof (A=B, B=C,
so, A=C)....but, math always drains me....sorry if I muttled it up.
Now then, i would have to agreed with the sagelike statement:
"All Generalizations are False."
...and I realize that there are a number of exceptions, but from what
I percieve to be the norm in shadowrun, elves have a reputation for
always putting people off with an "I know something you don't know.
Nya-nya-nya." (that's a quote from some canon or novel :)
And Humans are reguarded, by elves, for a generalization with some
harsh, possibly amligned feelings, due to the racial persecution. I
am sure that there are subservient elves who are shy as all can be,
and human's are know to have a faction among them which are commonly
referred to as "posers," as they believe that Elves are God-sent, and
should be emulated, even at the cost of reforming you body to look
like elves. But, I was speaking of (what i believe to be) the
majority (in racial terms) racial attitudes.

Now, then, how many list subscribers think that I missed the mark? If
I did, let me know so I can revise my view.
